    WFA is linked to female state pension age.

    It's £200 for a single person , but only if born on or before January 5th 1952, so your mum won't qualify.

    I am not sure where to post this. My husband and I have assets of around £420,000. If one of us dies (we are in our late 60's), and passes all assets to the survivor, is the survivors inheritance tax allowance £325,000 or £650,000?

    Our daughter, who is in her 40's is physically disabled could we put some money into a trust for her, if so how would we go about it?

    Any advice would be really helpful.
